The Town of Moraga has started an account with the company Nixle, which connects public service agencies with its citizens.

The service will allow the Town of Moraga to send out information immediately via text message and email to those citizens who sign up for the alerts.

By signing up, citizens will be able to be informed of emergencies, road closures and any police alerts for the area. The Town of Moraga also hopes that the service will be a way to remind citizens about town events going on.
